Bhagawath Gita Mahathmyam
By
Lord Vishnu
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(After the days Parayana is completed, it is a common
practice to read this(Mahathmya) which
is taken from the Varaha Purana. Goddess
earth asks Lord Vishnu , how the human
being drowned in the net of domestic problems can become his devotee. Lord Vishnu replies
that it is done by reading Gita, either
fully or a chapter or a verse or even a part of the verse.)
Dharo Uvacha:-
The earth said:-
1.Bhagawan parameshaanaa Bhakthiravyabhi charinee ,
Prarabdham
bhujyamanasya kadam bhavathi hey
Prabho.
Oh God , Oh divine lord , how can spotless devotion
arise and,
Exist in one who
is affected by domestic problems?
Sri Vishnor Uvacha:-
Lord Vishnu said:-
2.Prarabdham
bujyamano hi Gita abhyasatha sadaa,
SA muktha , sa

If those affected
by domestic problems always practice Gita,
They would become free, have a pleasant life and would not be tied by
Karma.

touch you like water would not be
able to make lotus leaf wet.
